415 W Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel Valley, CA | Directions 9392436.500124 -121.755110
Your own private country inn – I have had the pleasure to dine at Marinus many times and each time have been rewarded with a memorable experience. Most recently in February 2006. The food, wait staff, and ambience were perfect. The only objection was the portion size for the entres on the al a carte menu were rather small. this was somewhat off set by the richness of the preperation, but for the prices they charge, they should be able to give you a little more meat. I recommend this restaurant for that special occasion. The food and atmosphere do not disappoint.
Best steak and foie gras – One of the best restaurants I've been to. Great food, great ambience and an extensive wine list. Definitely better than may steak houses around.
Winning Combination – Cal Stamenov's elegant, creative fare is a perfect match for Ben Pon's Carmel Valley gem. The room is tastefully elegant, yet has a very intimate, homey feel, due mostly to the wonderful fireplace and comfortable decor. Cal's food is creative without being pretentious. His Scallops Wellington come to mind as a truly unforgetable dish. The wine list is extensive and well-presented - just what one would expect from a first-class wine country getaway.

Daily Joke
A Buddhist approaches a hotdog vendor and says: "Make me one with everything."
He gives the vendor a $20 bill and waits. Finally he says: "Where's my change?"
Says the vendor: "All change must come from within."

Ever since I changed the shampoo I use, though, my hair has improved drastically.

Most drugstore-shelf shampoos contain sulfates, chemicals that are cheap and easy to produce and good at dissolving oil and dirt. According to Gillian Deacon's book, There's Lead In Your Lipstick (2011), sulfates such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) create the foam that we erroneously associate with cleaning power, but they disrupt our brain, nervous, and reproductive systems, while drying out hair and irritating the scalp.

Bedtime with the Duggar KidsBy Parentables | Parenting – Mon, Feb 25, 2013 9:12 AM EST

There's a difference between a little one with a bad attitude who doesn't want to stay in their bed for bedtime versus a little one that wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to cuddle up with daddy and me.
I am not a stickler about them staying in their own rooms at night; I've never been really rigid about it. If one of mine wakes up in the middle of the night and comes pitter-pattering down the hallway to climb into bed with daddy and me, I love it. I don't mind that a bit. I just let them come and snuggle with dad and me, and we all wake up in the morning smooshed all over the bed. Usually there are two or three in there by the morning. At night, you'll hear all these little feet pitter-pattering across the floor.

Are You One of Those Mothers?By Parentables | Team Mom – Fri, Feb 22, 2013 9:43 PM EST
Image: Patrik Giardino/Getty ImagesWith the kids being on school vacation, we decided to head to the Boston Children's Museum on Monday. It was loads of fun, but also pretty chaotic with so many kids out of school in our area. A friend decided to join us since she had the day off too. She doesn't have any children but is expecting her first and is a doting aunt who is quick to get involved in entertaining the kids. But we weren't at the museum for ten minutes before she looked at me and said, "Do other moms drive you crazy?" And while I felt bad saying it, my honest answer was "yes."Read More »from Are You One of Those Mothers?

Teaching High School: The Hardest Job EverBy Parentables | Parenting – Tue, Feb 19, 2013 6:43 PM EST
Photo: alamosbasement / Creative CommonsSeven years ago, I took a position as a semester-long substitute for a teacher on maternity leave at an inner city public charter school in Washington, DC. I expected to be a good teacher. I think many recent college graduates regard teaching this way; at least for women, teaching, like mothering, is something you do instinctively. Maybe this is part of the reason we don't pay our teachers as much as our plumbers or our accountants; I know I cannot find my way around a tax return or fix a toilet.Read More »from Teaching High School: The Hardest Job Ever

For many of my friends, a teaching stint provided an intermediary step before they took on "real jobs" as lawyers and doctors. During graduate school, I taught writing at local colleges. And I assumed teaching high school wouldn't be that different from teaching college. Some of my college students were 18 years old, while others were adults returning to school. But all of them wanted to be there.
Could a Small Breed Dog Be a Good Fit for Your Family?By Parentables | Parenting – Fri, Feb 15, 2013 12:47 PM EST
Photo Credit: Last summer my daughter turned 10, and reminded me for the umpteenth time that I had promised her that we would consider getting a small dog when she was old enough to take care of it. Her longing for a small dog began when she was four, and she had religiously pestered me ever since.Read More »from Could a Small Breed Dog Be a Good Fit for Your Family?
I have always been a big-dog person, and personally have never really found much use for small dogs. Although I had my doubts, I looked carefully into area breeders and shelters, and after looking through many varieties, pure breeds, and mixes, settled on what I was told was a "designer" dog- the Malti-Poo. Since Jack has entered our home, our hearts have never been the same. From the minute we met him, we were completely taken by his teddy bear cuteness, his intelligence, and his love and devotion.

It's not one of those situations where I'm saying things my parents said that I swore I never would.

I've found a few activities that my daughter is excited to do any time I suggest them. They provide great tactile stimulation and require her to further develop her motor skills in the process.

How the Duggars Share Love on Valentine's DayBy Parentables | Parenting – Fri, Feb 8, 2013 12:31 PM EST
Photo credit: DCLQuestion from a "19 Kids and Counting" fan on Facebook: Do you celebrate Valentine's Day, and if so, how?
Our family celebrates Valentine's Day a little differently with our friends, the Query family. My dear friend Debbie Query is a widow with four children. Her husband was tragically killed in a car accident when their youngest child was 2 years old. Every year, she puts together a special luncheon for women who are on their own because of tragedy, divorce or even abandonment. She felt like it was a time of year when single women needed to be encouraged and loved. It's common to feel like a fifth wheel when you are alone, especially at Valentine's Day. It's a time when couples will usually be getting gifts for each other or going out for a Valentine's meal. Debbie and her family reach out to women that don't have a Valentine, and host a special Valentine's banquet just for them.

Offering a rare level of intimacy, Ong Keng Sen, Artistic Director of TheatreWorks, Singapore, will share highlights and show excerpts of his professional career which has evolved over 22 years and 160 critically acclaimed productions and workshops. Learn how he views his work from an ASEAN, Asian, and International perspective.
Bringing cultures, ideas and genres together, director Ong Keng Sen is one of the world's most provocative contemprorary voices in theater. His productions and initiatives have made theater a transcultural, transdisciplinary collaborative art. Keng Sen is known for his rejection of authenticity and his embracing of multiple realities and hybridity within Asia. His work is characterized by bold reinvention of classical methods and interweaving of theatrical traditions.
In 1994, Keng Sen initiated The Flying Circus Project, a creative strategy laboratory which is a robust encounter between contemporary arts and traditional performance. Believing that it is important to represent on stage an Asia of today, Keng Sen directed Lear which premiered in Tokyo. To date, this production has toured nine cities in Asia, Europe and Australia including the Festival of Perth. His rich body of international work ranges from the large scale critically acclaimed productions of LEAR and GEISHA to more intimate and personal stories based on the Milosevic trials and mass killings in Cambodia.

Novelist and Star Wars fan John Scalzi often pontificates the finer points of the saga as only a fanboy can. Read his latest column about why he thinks Chewbacca is the best sci-fi sidekick ever!
1. He's alien
Dude's a seven foot pile of shag who walks around naked, save for a bandolier. He communicates by howling. He'll rip the arms off a droid just to make a point about sportsmanship. Face it, you're not going to run across anyone like that on a day-to-day basis.
2. He's not too alien
At the same time, he's not a gelatinous mass or a cold-blooded reptile — he's furry and (almost) kind of cuddly, has sympathetic blue eyes and a Scooby Doo-like streak of neurosis in him, allowing Han to berate him from time to time in an amusing fashion.

I am quite sure you do not want to ingest soft water.
Should I supply hard water or soft water for the icemaker on my new refrigerator. Both are available with about the same difficulty.
I am quite sure you do not want to ingest soft water.
The only reason for not ingesting soft water would be if you are on a low sodium diet. RO water is NOT the same as "soft water". Hard water will give you cloudy cubes because of the suspended minerals in it. Some sites will say not to us RO water, but my icemakers, and others I service, have used it for decades without any problem, and with clear cubes.

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Slight hijack, please.
Whole house remodel, ran copper for an icemaker, figuring it would come off a RO filter under sink. Heard a few theories about compatibility of RO water and copper, wondering what the collective wisdom of this board is. Copper is buried in wall.
TIA, Todd
THere's a reason water is called the universal solvent. RO treated water is quite aggressive and is much more able to attack (dissolve) things verses more common water that contains minerals. Probably not a good idea to use it with a copper line.

David Nelson remembers when he and his Brookwood High School teammates arrived at Parkview Stadium before the Broncos' 1987 playoff game with Clarke Central.
Looking out of the window as the team bus pulled up, they saw a big bronco painted at midfield, declaring the pitch as Bronco turf.
had shared the Panthers' stadium as its home field since beginning a football program in 1982, but the décor had always been decidedly orange-and-blue, no matter who the home team was.
Nelson, who played strong safety in '87, his senior year, said the Brookwood booster club must have received permission to re-do the field.
"I remember the Brookwood insignia was on the middle of the field until almost spring," said Nelson, now an assistant football coach at Brookwood. "I remember them not being too happy about it."
Fittingly, the annual Brookwood-Parkview football rivalry has left an indelible mark on Gwinnett County over the past three decades.
The two schools, which shared Parkview's stadium from 1982 to 1989, will play for the 30th time this Friday at Brookwood, continuing one of the state's fiercest football rivalries. Game time is 7:30 p.m., and it's a good idea to get there early.
Born out of the explosive population growth in Lilburn and Snellville in the 1970's and 80's, the schools have been rivals from the beginning. When Brookwood opened in 1981, just five years after Parkview opened, it drew many of its students from its Lilburn neighbor, thus pitting kids who grew up together in competition against each other.
The so-called Battle of Five Forks-Trickum — a reference to the road that connects the two districts — is as good as it gets in high school athletics.
With it, you get two schools that mirror each other in athletic and academic achievement, passion from their student bodies and community drive for excellence.
"It is the epitome of what high schools rivalries are made from," Brookwood Head Coach Mark Crews said. "The history of the game, the success of both programs and the strong support of both communities all add to the atmosphere of the annual game."
"We always say that you can just about throw out past statistics and be prepared for a great rivalry game," Parkview Head Coach Cecil Flowe added. That's true; the first state championship seasons for both schools (Brookwood, 1996; Parkview, 1997) included losses in the Five Forks-Trickum game.
Friday's game has plenty on the line, too. Parkview and Brookwood are tied for second in Region 8-AAAAA, and the winner will take an important step in securing home field in the first round of the playoffs.
I've attended around 10 Brookwood-Parkview games since my first in 1988, including last year's 10-3 Brookwood win at Parkview and the 2002 state final, which the Panthers won 28-7, also at Parkview.
During that time, I've great games with much at stake, crowds of 10,000 or more, and a whole of emotion. I've seen these two schools lead the way for the rest of the county.
Grounded in academic excellence, the schools became the envy of others. Then, football joined in.
With six state titles (Parkview has four; Brookwood two), 11 appearances in the state championship game, and more than 500 wins between them, Brookwood and Parkview set the blueprint for other football programs to follow.
And, remarkably, it's been with good, clean respect for each other (for the most part).
"I used to pull for Parkview to win when they didn't play us … so that the game would mean even something more," said Nelson, in his 18th year as a Brookwood coach and physics teacher. "We've got so much respect for Coach Flowe and what they've done over there. They're a legend in Gwinnett County. We'd like to be considered in the same company."

About Teen Tech Week:
Teen Tech Week is a national initiative sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association and is aimed at teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults. The purpose of the initiative is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries such as DVDs, databases, audio books, and videogames. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries' non-print resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.

HIPPA Notice
EEC Functional Transition Assessment Process
The Education Evaluation Center has developed a Functional Transition Assessment Process for youths with disabilities to serve as a guide when developing individual transition assessment plans. The resulting manual and all forms used in this assessment process are available at: Functional Assessment in Transition and Rehabilitation for Adolescents and Adults with Learning Disorders, Pro-Ed, 8700 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78757-6897.
Assessments Must Be Student Centered:
IDEA specifically states: The transition component of the IEP "must be based on the individual student's needs, taking into account the student's preferences and interests."
Assessments Are Question Driven:
The Education Evaluation Center (EEC) asks the student, parents, special education teacher, vocational specialists, case manager, and any other involved school staff to complete a FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT REQUEST form in order to determine all of the transition concerns and questions.
Assessments Involve a Team Effort:
File Review
Parent Information Form:
The EEC has developed a history form to gather information on the student's birth and development, medical history, family structure, behaviors, schooling history, and parent concerns.
School Information Form:
The EEC has developed a form to gather not only recent testing information, but detailed information on present levels of performance and behaviors in all of the student's academic courses.
Interview with Participant
Interviews with Others:
Obtain information on how well a student functions in both academic and non-academic settings. This may include formal rating scales and checklists. Determine the goals and expectations of family and others.
Functional Assessment Checklist:
The EEC has developed an assessment checklist to be completed at the initial assessment staffing meeting to assist in clarifying roles and responsibilities. The special education teacher should not be responsible for all of the assessment activities. The student, parents, regular educators, testing specialists, speech and language specialists, vocational specialists, and any others involved in the student's transition should be assigned tasks as the assessment activities are discussed and planned.
Determine Necessary Psychometric Tests:
If the student is transitioning to a postsecondary school, current IQ and academic scores will be needed. Academic levels are also helpful in determining potential levels of independence in community settings, and accommodation and modification needs.
Determine Additional Areas of Concern
Determine Transition/Vocational Assessment Needs:
Transition assessment components should vary according to the interests, needs, and skill level of the individual student. Below is a list of many of the assessment tools that the EEC selects from when determining assessment components.
Interest tests are selected on the basis of:
Formal Interest Tests
Alternatives to Formal Testing
There are several Person Centered Planning tools available to assist students in assessing their strengths and interests, to plan, and to implement plans. For more information about Person Centered Planning vist the Cornell University Website at www.ilr.cornell.edu/edi/pep or conduct an internet search to locate PCP in your region.
A Good Experiences activity can be conducted with student, family, friends, school staff, and/or vocational staff. These activities are short, informal, and involve a small number of people.
The definition of aptitude is a natural or acquired ability or talent. Students may have an interest in certain types of job tasks, but have not had experience or practice in the specific activity contained in a formal aptitude test. Therefore, formal aptitude test scores should not be the basis for eliminating a student's career choice, but used as a tool for exploring options. Aptitudes may also be obtained from previous or current assessments and/or observation information.
Common Aptitude Areas
Formal Aptitude Tests
Psychometric Tests Providing Aptitude Information
When formal aptitude tests may not be necessary:
Transition Rating Scales
Transition Skill Knowledge Assessment Instruments
Summarize Assessment Information
Determine Adaptation and Modification Needs based on strengths and weaknesses and learning/communication styles.
Evaluate Potential Job or Postsecondary School Programs identified by student:
The Education Evaluation Center has developed two environmental assessment instruments designed to provide a profile of the requirements and characteristics of the work or school settings in which individuals with disabilities could be placed, and to determine the possible adaptations and modifications available in that setting. Copies of these measures are contained in the Functional Assessment for Adolescents and Adults with Learning Disabilities manual edited by Dr. Michael Bullis, and available through Pro-Ed Publishing.
Compare Skills and Goals:
The assessment team, including the student and parent, need to re-convene to share assessment information, brainstorm, and determine the next step.
Prepare a written summary or report of Functional Transition Skills Assessment.
Conduct a transition planning meeting to create a Transition Plan.

"And then I think the other thing, the other mark of a good team, is to go on the road and win games. I saw over half of their Portland game. They were behind at halftime and the Portland crowd was going crazy. They came out and played very well in the second half. They won at Cal; I don't think that's the easiest place in the world to go play. And at UTEP. I've coached against Tim Floyd and know the type of game preparation he does for each individual opponent. And so they've not only won on the road, they've won close games on the road and I always think that's a sign of a good team."
How close are Marcus Paige and Dexter Strickland to being where you want them to be?
"No coach is going answer, 'Oh, they're there.' … They're coming along. But it's going to be a process all year long. Dexter is still nowhere near the defensive player that he was last year. It's not even close. And Marcus is getting better with each and every game, but he's got to have some consistency about him. I think before the last game I challenged both of them defensively because I thought they played so poorly on the defensive end at Texas. And they came back and Marcus was the defensive player of the game against McNeese State, but McNeese State is not Texas.
"Marcus is not where he's going to be defensively. Dexter is nowhere near where he has been and so I'm challenging him to get back and be that defensive player to have that identity because he hasn't shown us that yet. On the positive side, their assist-turnover ratios are both pretty doggone good. On the negative side, their shooting percentage is not as good. So what I do is continually evaluate as you go along."
Have you considered any changes to the lineup other than the five spot?
"No. The other four guys haven't done anything to play their way out, and nobody else has done anything to play their way in. P.J. [Hairston] has really done some good things off the bench, but who do you take out? Do you take out Reggie [Bullock]? I think Reggie has done some really good things. And I don't want to go completely, five small guys out there. But the other four guys haven't played their way out, and no one has outplayed them at the level that would make you want to make that kind of change. I surprised Desmond Hubert by starting him against McNeese State… I started thinking about who I was going to put down, and Desmond was the first to come to mind so I wrote Desmond down because none of those guys, again, have established that it's their spot."
How much can one big win affect a team's confidence?
"It's hard to answer that because it would change from team to team, but I've seen – like for us, my first year here, beating Connecticut in a nonconference game here was to me a bigger win than one win. They guys gave me that impression after the game, the next day, the next week. And I can't even remember, maybe we got killed the next game, but I thought that team at that point, it was much bigger than one win…
"I think one loss really hurts and sometimes lingers, but I do believe also that sometimes one win can really give you a little more confidence and linger a little bit, too."

Too subtle for me
December 03, 2012
Written by Chatterboxx1969
The write-up classifies this fragrance as "fruity," but I detect more of a light spice that's alluring. I met my boyfriend while wearing this fragrance, and he loves it. It's pretty subtle. I cannot smell it on my wrist after a few hours, but others may. I recommend this fragrance for evening or a night out. It's too alluring to wear in the office.

BRAVO is amazing – Bravo's has the best food in the world in my opinion...Bravo's has been my favorite restaurant since I had it for the first time about 10 years ago. No matter what you order, everything is delicious. They bring out bread and this really good oil that tastes amazing. If you go you must get the house salad...and pasta bravo is pretty amazing too.
Average Italian food – Bravo is a good restaurant to dine in with a large group of people. The atmosphere is busy and the food is what you would expect in a chain Italian restaurant. The wines were good and the overall service and staff were good too. We went there for lunch as a group and I ordered the chicken rosemary sandwich with fries which was great. The fries though were like McDonalds with the cheese and can be avoided.
The Best! – Bravo Italian kithchen is really the best restaurant I've ever been in my entire life! I can't wait to come back and have the best dinners of my life... with a good glass of champagne, of course. Psvieira

"This invitation was perfect for our daughter's baptism- it wasn't overly girlie or too religious looking- pretty close to resembling a birth announcement! I'd recommend this to any one- we are very pleased with the results. The only thing I wish that I would have seen the option for the rectangular sized envelopes that do my require an additional cost for shipping."
"Couldn't have been happier. Received lots of complements!! :) Simple and "girly" Just a side note- the size of the card is a bit small, but it was absolutely fine for our occasion."
"I ordered these cards as my daughter's baptism/1st birthday party invitations. I have received so many compliments on them. I used the basic paper and it was fine. I needed to include information for the reception/party and was able to put it on the back rather than having to make or order a second information card. I'm very happy with these cards, they are just perfect for our event."

I really wonder who you think this "wider audience" for Finder is, Wasabiman et al. All interested 18+ readers would buy Finder from 801 Media for sure anyway. Now, who'd be contributing to the "wider audience"? I think probably those who are mostly under 18. Or some random adult buyers I guess who'd buy a shrink-wrapped copy without realizing what it has. In either case, whether it's kids or "random buyers", not sure how "safe" this widespread distribution would be for the publisher, unless June does some serious censorship to the series.
If June doesn't censor anything in Finder series, I will surely buy 10 copies, as some gift ideas for my friends (all are mature enough to read and enjoy it, of course). This way I will support the absence of censorship and make good gifts. But with very high probability, this will never happen. But anyway, let's wait and see.

Nash can't save the Lakers

08:01 AM ET 12.10 | Considering the Lakers' offense seemed to function well enough on Sunday, the returns of Steve Nash and Pau Gasol may not be the cure. There's too much wrong for even Nash, as gifted as he is, to fix what ails the Lakers. And there's certainly too much out of kilter for them to rest their hopes on the return of Gasol, who has been memorable so far this season only for his struggles at both ends of the floor while battling tendinitis in his knees. Even Coach Mike D'Antoni acknowledged the Lakers can't count on Nash and Gasol to save them. ... "Oh, no, it won't cure everything. But it will help," D'Antoni said of Nash's return, which might occur sometime during the trip to Cleveland, New York, Washington and Philadelphia.
Lakerland is under water
Yeah, I can't see how the return of Nash will help the fundamental problems the Lakers are having now. But, should help some.

It's a horrible day in Lakerland,
But a wonderful day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?

I've always wanted to hate a team just like you.
I've always wanted to watch a team lose just like you.
So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:

Won't you keep on losing?

Please just keep on losing!

Most Lakers homers are so nieve in their thinking. Here you have them thinking that the return of Nash is somehow going to make a huge difference and that somehow this 38 yr old is going to be able log long and continueous effective minutes thereby making the Lakers into championship contenders. I'll say, "thats quite the dream". Upon his return the Lakers may play somewhat better but its not going to translate into this massive turnaround, you still have Dumbtoni as HC and he still doesn't believes in defense,.....translation: You won't win without it!
Here's another example of nieveness by the homers, hey often compare Kobe to Mike, justifying it with the "he has 5 rings". Well I say HOFer and 50 Greatest Scottie Pippen has 6 rings, does that means he led the jBulls to those championships? No, did Kobe lead the Lakers to those 5 rings? No (2) 1 of which you can make a strong case for Pau as most believe should have won anyways. Shaq was MVP and it wasn't in dispute on any level as to why he won the 3MVP's, he led them to the rings with averages of 35pts, 17rb, 3.5blks...not Kobe. Lastly, on the Kove vs Mike comparisons (as foolish and nieve as it is) Mike never played in a seventh game, nor has he ever lost a championship series. Kobe has lost two championship series and was a disappearingact in both game sevens he played in, chucking away at will, hence the Metta world Peace bailout (10) & the Pau bailout (09).
To go even further Kareems HOF career by age 30 is better than Kobe's entire career....it goes like the: 6 League MVP's, 2 Finals MVPs (71,80) 10x Allstar, 2 Scoring titles, 2 rebounding title, 2 rings, 3Finals appearences, 23,371 pts, 1ROY, Please wit the Kobe madness!
Funny I never hear Mike losing so much that he had to hope for a 38 yr pg to copme back soon to bail him and the team he leads out and give them hope. Yeah, funny how none of us have ever hear of such a thing. Kobe is going out like the Gunner he is with 5 rings and bs alcolades he doesn't deserve for the most part, and a few thousand more points.....That it!

If Steve Nash can save this train wreck then he must be considered the best player of "All Time." The Lakers have a major problem and only free lance basketball may fix this mess. No chemistry, sense of urgency, defense, offense, strategy, system, responsibility, togetherness, execution, hope, this team with those mega superstars look like crap. Someone need to implode or explode and show some attitude. This can't be happening, you can get better results from a park league team or a bunch of street ballers. It really sucks to watch the Lakers play at this point, even Miami did not look this bad when they assembled their super team. The Lakers at this point look like the Philadelphia Eagles; maybe its not a good idea to assemble a super team, the Knicks look good!

This is the 1ST refrigerator that I have ever owned that dod NOT chill the dispensed water! This machine throws ice everywhere, is terribly noisy when making ice (will wake you up in the middle of the night!) Is very slow to make ice, will not keep up with 2 adults! I didn't notice untill it was delivered that the sides are textured to minimize finger prints but the front is not..very strange. Some IDIOT designed this one..
via sears.com
there is an issue with the ice dispenser design. I believe ice gets stuck in the chute and them randomly falls out onto the floor. We have hardwood floors in our kitchen and have found water and melting ice several times on the floor and it has happened while we were in the kitchen. I believe our floors are starting to cup as a result of the water.

I was in dire need of a new refrigerator, like yesterday, and Sears came through for me within one day. This fridge is 100% better than the $3,400. LG that I bought a mere 3-1/2 years ago. I cannot say enough about the fridge and the service that Sears gave me. It seems to have almost all the features the LG had, but far less complicated and right now I am looking for simplicity in my life. Thank you Kenmore for saving the day.

I've only had it for 3 days, so far so good. Bought on 35% off sale, so the price was very right. Delivery crew was excellent. I have no issues with the ice dispenser spilling ice, not a cube lost yet. Size is just right for us, it replaced a 15 yr old Kenmore 23 CF model. Only complaint is the ice maker seems slower than the old fridge. Smaller cubes that take the same amount of time to make. I'll report back in 6 months and update how it's been going.

This refrigerator works perfectly. Keeps food cold, and the fruit and vegetable bins work just as they should. Overall everything stays fresh. However, there just isn't enough space for a family size of seven. So if it's space you need this will not work.We love Kenmore and decided to upgrade to a 31cu. ft. door model. The Kenmore brand is great,and one that you can trust!!

It is ok, nothing to brag about. 1st thing after less than 1 week, the ice dispenser would only dispense crushed ice regardless of what choice was pushed. Was advised to unplug the unit and wait about 2 minutes and plug it back in. This corrected the problem but am concerned that it will happen again and eventually fail, we'll see. also required a home modification to stop it from slinging ice everywhere when dispensing.

Talented medolls 4
Hello today I will be showing you 3 stardolls of random talents. It will be two royalties and one non-superstar.
First royalty: JD-96
This is for her suite and for her amazing sense of style. Her suite is so simple yet so chic and you barely find that on stardoll since most people like to pack their suites with as much furniture as possible. I think she is an awesome inspiration!
Second royalty: Jodierox10
For her amazing designs. I think this girl puts incredible amounts of accuracy into her designs. Like the London 2012 logo. You can tell she has spirit for the olympics! I love her winky face design because you don't see many of them around stardoll.
The non-superstar: MosEisley
For her amazingly creative hair design. I think her hair design is amazing and I definitely don't see many of those floating round stardoll! I think she has been incredibly creative and she should be recognised for it!
That's all for now I hope you enjoyed talented medolls 4!

Most people don't want to
go to church. But why? And what might interest them in joining a
community of faith?
Those questions have sent us across the country
looking for answers. After years of research and countless
interviews, my wife Joani and I have finally collected our
findings. They're in a new book titled, no
surprise, Why Nobody Wants to Go to Church
Anymore, with a subtitle of "And How 4 Acts of Love
Will Make Your Church Irresistible."
We found four recurring themes why the majority avoids
church. Here's a sneak preview from the book:
1. "I feel judged." Gabe Lyons'
and David Kinnaman's research in their
book UnChristianconfirms that "church people judge
me." According to their studies, 87 percent of Americans label
Christians as judgmental. Fair or unfair, most people view the
church as critical, disapproving, and condemning. Whether it's
behavior, looks, clothes, choice of friends, lifestyle decisions,
or whatever, the church has a solid reputation for acting as judge
and jury over our individual differences.
2. "I don't want to be
lectured." More than ever, people today want to
participate in the discussion. One man told us he's talked with
more than a thousand other men who've given up on church. He said,
"Guys don't want to sit in a room and idly listen to some preacher
do all the talking. They want to ask questions. They want to share
their thoughts, too." The same goes for women. They don't want
another one-way lecture.
3. "Church people are a bunch of
hypocrites." This isn't a small minority talking. A
whopping 85 percent make this claim. We know, we know. Every church
leader in America is weary of this "excuse." But people aren't
merely referring to incongruous behavior. What bothers them is the
sense that church leaders act as if they alone have all the
answers. As if they've arrived. As if they're only interested in
telling others what to do-"teaching," to use ministry
4. "Your God is irrelevant to my life. But I'd
like to know there is a God and he cares about
me." Research by the Barna Group reveals that only 44
percent of people who attend church every week say they regularly
experience God at church. They're not looking for the deep
theological trivia that seems to interest a lot of preachers. They
crave something rather simple. They want to be reassured that God
is real, that he is more than a historical figure, that he is
present today, and that he is active in the lives of people around
Whether we like it or not, this is what the population
is saying about the church today.
Now, as God's people, we can defensively bark back and
shift the blame to all those heathens and backsliders who've
abandoned the church. But that will do nothing but hasten the
decline of the American church.
Or, we can explore ways to better be the church.
That's what led us to the "four acts of love" we describe in the
book. I'll preview those in coming blog posts.
In the meantime, I'd love to see your comments. In
fact, everyone who posts a comment here will be entered to win one
of five free copies of Why Nobody Wants to Go to
Church Anymore. And you can make sure you'll get a
copy by placing a pre-publication order at
When it comes to the plight of the church, one thing's
for sure. God has not given up on his church. He's at work, urging
his people forward. We simply need to get on board.

Great agent though he is, he sure has a history for creating anxiety in Alabama.
Maybe it's because he has a knack for representing coaches whose career histories lend themselves to anxiety among fan bases. Who can forget Tommy Tuberville's classic "pine box" quote and Nick Saban's forceful declaration will still the Miami Dolphins' coach in 2006?
"I guess I have to say it," he said. "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach."
It didn't take a pine box to carry Tuberville from Ole Miss to Auburn, and Saban? Well, Alabama fans are praying he never leaves.
That brings us to this week's panic attack over the latest story linking Saban to another job. Let's see if we have this straight.
Sexton, Saban's agent, had a phone conversation with a former Texas regent in January. Nine months later, said former regent relayed his best recollections of that conversation to a current regent in an email.
The Associated Press obtained the email through a freedom of information request, and we learned the former regent's takeaway from his chat with Sexton -- Texas is the one job for which Saban would consider leaving Alabama, and Saban is feeling "special pressure" stemming from his wild success at Alabama.
We can only speculate a good agent was doing what a good agent does, throwing pebbles in in various pools to see what ripples might turn up for his client. His pebble appears to have grown into one eager Texas supporter's Gibraltar.
It all seems increasingly moot, now that Mack Brown's Texas team has won five straight games and vanquished interstate rival Oklahoma along the way.
So, as we wait for latest Saban-to-somewhere story to pass like a storm front over Dixie Alley, maybe it's constructive to mull just what conditions might cause the self-proclaimed, "too-damned-old" Saban to consider retiring or trying another challenge.
To any ledge walkers, keep in mind that this is only one Alabama-based scribe's speculative sense of the coach he's observed in press conferences and games for seven years. Count me among the don't-jump chorus below.
That said, Saban is a rebuilder, not a maintainer. He can maintain, but it's not his thing, which makes it hard to see him as a 10-year coach anywhere.
Money is not Saban's biggest deal maker. He likes it as much as anyone, but he most wants control and constituencies so starved for success that they eagerly buy what he sells.
What the Star Trek character Spock was to logic, Saban is to process. Just like it's not humanly possible to purge all emotion, it's not possible to fully purge distraction and human nature's tendency to grow complacent and even delusionally entitled to success.
A complacent, delusionally entitled culture dilutes focus on process, so such a culture is Nick Saban repellant.
In seven years at Alabama, he pretty much has enjoyed process lockstep from his roster, fans, administrators and boosters. His contract gives him all the control a coach could want.
In return, he has won three national titles in four years and looks to be on the cusp for a fourth, but process missteps are showing.
Saban talked of "entitlement issues" on the roster at the start of spring practice. Eleven player suspensions since January seem to confirm that.
There still seems to be lockstep from administrators and Alabama's financial backers, but what about fans? We just saw brouhaha over Saban calling out fans for leaving blowout games early.
And don't think Saban failed to notice that rival Auburn's fan base won A-Day this year. After Alabama packed or near-packed Bryant-Denny Stadium through Saban's first six years, Auburn had 83,401 fans to Alabama's 78,315.
The bet here is that a Saban sort sees that and wonders, "Wow, is my fan base still the hungriest fan base in my state?"
None of this means that Saban's next career move is imminent, however. As the latest storm front of speculation passes over us, think of it in weather terms.
Meteorology gives us watches, warnings and emergencies, and watches and warnings often become false alarms. It might be prudent to issue a Saban watch.
Some conditions are growing favorable.

Favorite Season in Naperville: The Fall season is my favorite, simply because of the scenery and the ambiance it has throughout the campus. The many different oranges, reds, yellows, and browns from fallen leaves. I enjoy the cooler weather and the kind of clothes I get to wear during the season.
